[PATCH v2 6/7] bio: add a helper calculating nr segments to alloc

From: Pavel Begunkov
Date: Sat Jan 02 2021 - 10:23:42 EST


Add a helper function calculating the number of bvec segments we need to
allocate to construct a bio. It doesn't change anything functionally,
but will be used to not duplicate special cases in the future.
